Despite the fact that the West mostly knows about Tsai Ming-liang, Hou Hsiao Hsen, Edward Yang and Ang Lee’s works, Taiwan is actually home of a rather vibrant movie industry, which produces films of quality of every category. Particularly during the last few years, when Netflix gave local filmmakers a platform for their films to be known all over the world, the aforementioned fact became even more evident, with the audience discovering the quite high level of Taiwanese productions, beyond the aforementioned masters. In that fashion, we chose to highlight 40 of the best local productions, actually including two works by them, which could, though, very easily be omitted.
Without further ado, here are 40 great Taiwanese movies released from 2010 and onwards, with a focus, as always, on diversity.
NOTE: Missing on IMDB:
* Nine Shots (2019) by James Su
* The Child of Nowhere (2020) by Dio Wang
